it is often easier to perform percutaneous pinning and bone grafting at 10 days from injury since this allows the frx site to the bone graft attempts to hold the reduction in place, and in a sense helps take the place of external fixation bone grafting via a limited incision over the frx site fills in the fracture site defect and helps prevent fracture collapse elevation of impacted fracture fragments often results in a metaphyseal fracture defect Bone Grafting: (see bone graft harvest techniques and bone graft menu) Trans-ulnar percutaneous pinning of displaced distal radius fractures: a preliminary report. The history and evolution of percutaneous pinning of displaced distal radius fractures. Comminuted fractures of the distal end of the radius treated by ulnar pinning disadvantage: need to immobilize R-U joint w/ long arm cast there is enhance stability with this technique since there is bicortical pin placement thru the ulna technique avoid dorsal sensory branch of radial nerve K wires are placed thru distal ulna into the reduced distal radius ulnar-radial pinning with fixation of the DRUJ ref: Dorsal pin placement and external fixation for correction of dorsal tilt in fractures of distal radius.

starting point is positioned just distal to Lister's tubercle wire is drilled at a 45° angle in sagittal plane from dorsal lip of distal radius, across osteotomy site and through volar single 0.065-inch (1.6 mm) K-wire is used to augment fixation single dorsal transfixion K-wire yields the greatest reduction in fragment motion in the flexion/extension plane Intrafocal (Kapandji) pinning of distal radius fractures with and without external fixation. Two Procedures for Kirschner Wire Osteosynthesis of Distal Radial Fractures.

Percutaneous fixation with K wires vs volar locking-plate fixation in adults with dorsally displaced fracture ofĭistal radius: five-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial Percutaneous wire fixation of distal radial fractures: is it preferable to bury the wires? A biomechanical comparison of different wrist external fixators with and without K-wire augmentation Supplemental pinning improves the stability of external fixation in distal radius fractures during simulated finger and forearm motion. Biomechanical analysis of pin placement and pin size for external fixation of distal radius fractures. Severe fractures of the distal radius: effect of amount and duration of external fixator distraction on outcome. Intraarticular fractures of the distal radius: a cadaveric study to determine if ligamentotaxis restores radiopalmar tilt. Which facilitates pin insertion (hand and thumb are moved out of way), and which allows easy flouroscopy since distalįorearm rests parallel to ground on towels consider positioning distal forearm on a stack of towels which allows wrist be maximally palmar flexed which helps w/ reduction,

it is essential to hold the fracture closed reduced as possible while the pins are inserted inorder that there is minimal skin traction Radiographs: - look for concomitant scapholunate dissociation Prevent late collapse of the articular reduction w/ high energy frxs or w/ metaphyseal comminution, consider combination of external fixation and bone grafting in order to wires can be inserted transverse across the subchondral portion of the distal radial articlular surface, either through the ulnaĪnd across the RU joint, or directed transversely thru the radial cortex to lie just under the subchondral surface if reduction can not be performed closed, then a limited open reduction can be performed reduction is facilitated w/ traction, direct pressure, or with use of a small incision and application of pointed reduction clamps following fixation of the radial styloid fragment, the remaining depressed articular fragments are elevated and reduced r/o concomitant scapholunate dissociation Intra-Articular Fractures of the Distal Radius External Fixators for Distal Radius Frx
